1- setup TM35T Expert (0 degree timing), BRXL, 3S. If I want to change the motor CW/CCW rotation, I seem not to find the parameter in the CC Link setup. Can I just swap the motor leads to the ESC?

2- While setting the BRXL ESC with the motor the first time, all went fine.
Then I realised I had to invert the motor rotation, so tried to swap the leads. Also tried to invert the setting into my TX and now I have the following problem:
If I have the radio on, connect the battery, the esc will only show steady green light, but it does not operate. To make it work I first have to connect the battery, then switch on radio while pushing the throttle to max, then the ESC will react.. and work properly… When disconnecting the battery I will have to do all again.. Any suggestion/idea?

How can I re-set the ESC to standard setting and needing re-do the calibration process from zero?

I'm very curious to know how close the newest firmware for the BR-XL is to release?

I know I've asked a few times already sorry, but I'm really exited for it!
I've pulled out most of my BR-XL's I have in favor of ESC's that have the active freewheeling feature and I would love to have a reason to put them back.

For those who haven't heard the rumblings JRH had mentioned he's testing a new version of the firmware that includes an active freewheeling option, this is where the drag brake stays active while applying a little throttle so you truck doesn't just coast down hill when you give it throttle.

Hi
These have been awesome for years.
I have blew off the dust on my berg and trying to get working again. I have always ran it on 3S but my 3s lipos are no more.
Is this esc plug and play for 4s? or do I first need to castle link to it and configure it for 4s ?
If I had a working windows machine I would just link and see but I have a mac pro.
Thank You

Long time jeeper/off roader, but I'm a newbie to RC and have an SCX10.2 deadbolt I've done a pile of upgrades to (Full aluminum links with stainless pivot balls, 20kg servo, BEC, XT60 connectors, universal Axle shafts, aluminum shocks). ESC/Motor is next.

This is a pure crawler so I think I'm going to stay brushed. BRXL is obviously my top choice, but I'm in Canada and the conversion rate is crap right now. I can get the BR Mini RTR for about $110 Canadian. I'm wondering if I would run into any heat issues with it not having a heatsink? Is there an easy way to add a heatsink reliably without ruining the water resistance?

The onboard BEC won't be connected to anything, so that won't be an issue. Only using 2s-3s lipos. Our hottest days where I live are only 85F at most and we have maybe 3 of those days per summer so it won't be ran in a hot climate.

I can get the mini with a Crawlmaster expert from AsiaTees for $124 USD ($175 CAD). The XL with the same motor in the combo right now comes out to $186 USD ($265 CAD).

I guess my main question is will I regret not getting the XL over the Mini? Or will there be zero difference for my situation?

I havent had any issues running the mini on 3S for my setup. Its hardly getting hot but I have geared down, the rig is fairly light and I mostly just crawl (very little full throttle). My climate is a little cooler than yours, typically mid 60's and 75-80 max on the hottest days.

So far I haven't even felt it get warm though not having a heat sink might make properly checking difficult.
